Benefits of technology

The text describes a technology that makes the surface of recorded matter smoother.

Problems solved by technology

With this method, it is known that when the pattern image is formed on the base image, the ink which serves as a material of the pattern image may spread out wetting in an area other than the base image, which leads to deterioration of the image quality.
However, in the conventional method described above, an occurrence of streaky unevenness of a raised portion and an un-raised portion in the surface of the recorded matter due to a misdirected ink ejection, a non-ink-ejection, or the like, is not considered.
As a result, the surface of the recorded matter may not become smooth in the case where there has been a misdirected ink ejection, a non-ink-ejection, or the like.

second embodiment

[0093]Next, an inkjet recording apparatus, an inkjet recording method and a program according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0094]The inkjet recording apparatus according to the second embodiment differs from the inkjet recording apparatus according to the first embodiment in that the ejection unit 53 includes a first ejection unit 53a configured to eject ink onto the first area of the base material 51 and a second ejection unit 53b configured to eject ink onto the second area of the base material 51.

[0095]With the above difference, according to the inkjet recording apparatus of the second embodiment, ink of different materials can be ejected onto the first area and the second area, respectively.

[0096]It should be noted that in the inkjet recording apparatus according to the second embodiment, the CPU 140 may or may not include the wait time setting unit 144.

[0097]It should be noted that the inkjet recording apparatus according to the second emb...

third embodiment

[0122]Next, an inkjet recording apparatus, an inkjet recording method and a program according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0123]The inkjet recording apparatus according to the third embodiment differs from the inkjet recording apparatus according to the second embodiment in that the inkjet recording apparatus according to the third embodiment includes a temperature adjustment unit 59 configured to adjust temperature of at least one of the first ejection unit 53a and the second ejection unit 53b, and include a temperature control unit 145 for a CPU to control the temperature adjustment unit 59.

[0124]With the above difference, the inkjet recording apparatus according to the third embodiment can eject inks with different temperatures to the first area and the second area, respectively.

[0125]It should be noted that the inkjet recording apparatus according to the third embodiment includes, other than the above difference, the same configuration as t...

Abstract

An inkjet recording apparatus for curing ink ejected onto a base material and forming recorded matter on the base material is provided. The inkjet recording apparatus includes an ejection unit configured to eject the ink onto a first area of the base material and a second area surrounded by the first area, a curing unit configured to cure the ink ejected onto the base material, and a control unit configured to control the curing unit in such a way that a time from ink ejection onto the first area to ink curing is longer than a time from ink ejection onto the second area to ink curing.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is based on and claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-102092 filed May 16, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention generally relates to an inkjet recording apparatus, an inkjet recording method and a medium.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Conventionally, as one of inkjet methods for forming recorded matter by ejecting ink onto a base material and then drying or curing the ink, a method is known in which, for example, a base image is formed on the base material (recording medium) and then a pattern image is formed on the base image. With this method, it is known that when the pattern image is formed on the base image, the ink which serves as a material of the pattern image may spread out wetting in an area other than the base i...
